#1 Just a thought crossed my mind the other night while I read about the boer war.

It was the downfall of the british empire because they stopped showing themselves as the worlds police and protectors and rather showed the oppressive might that could happen if a force started to upset the balance of power. This got the ball rolling back home in little old England as the British public voted against any further aggression from ourselves due to nature of the images coming back (as photographs were fairly new in the press)

My point is, I feel drone strikes are very similar. They supress regions from above and indiscriminately or not the world doesn't like it. Do the American public.

I will never be able to read any replies but if you do could you carbon copy one to my email @ tomasaddison@gmail.com

thank you.
